Other than that it has been a fairly decent week.
One of the most exciting things that I did was solve my money crisis. Yippee!!! A man at my bank, though well intentioned I am sure, led me astray when it came to my ATM card. So since Florence, and while in Florence, I was cashless. None of the ATMs would take my card. Consequently, I to take a loan out of the Bank of Erica (gotta love generous and understanding roommates). After skyping my parents in a panic they were able to wire me money to tide me over while we figured the whole mess out. Which we have, and now I am at the mercy of the Italian Post.
Speaking of the Italian Post, I still need to find stamps. I am discovering what one of my roomies has already discovered: stamps are impossible to find! Hopefully I discover where they are sold soon, as I have many postcards to send.
Classes are still going well. I am really enjoying them all and learning fascinating things. My international law class is expanding my latin vocabulary, so I will sound really smart upon my return to the states. Also in that class we had a rousing debate today. It was pretty interesting because not many people knew what was going on. My team put up a good fight, but I have a feeling we lost. We were representing Serbia in the Kosovo case, and they lost in real life. So I don't feel to bad.
The sudden Roman cool snap seems to have ended as the last few days have been unbearably hot. Erica says thats Minnesotan for moderately warm. The sass that I have to put up with. Unbelievable.
This weekend we plan to take a bus tour of Rome and explore our own stomping grounds a bit. The majority of the tourists have left and the weather looks good, so it should be a grand old time.
Well I am off to make dinner. Probably a pasta with grilled chicken tonight. I am feeling to exhausted after my five day week to do much else.
Ciao for now.
